Acting together with the South

N°2010

In November 2010 in Ouagadougou, SOS Faim Belgium, SOS Faim Luxembourg and ROPPA1 organized an international seminar on the cereal sector in West Africa. Having analysed the diagnosis of a chronic (though uneven) deficit of cereal production in the subregion, the fifty participants discussed possible solutions to the problem of feeding a population expected to double in the next 30 years, while urbanisation rates explode. The backdrop for this seminar was the slogan «Mother Africa» launched by ROPPA a few years ago and which SOS Faim and all its partners adhere to with unwavering conviction.
